Some department at Cochise College (janitorial?) had a bunch of these cardboard tubes left over from something. Each tube is about 3.5" in diameter and maybe 10" long. I painted them silver and glued them together. Et voila, art.

App. 4" tall; c. 1980

One weekend in Bisbee I met a couple at the Copper Queen bar while I was trying to pick up the woman. Short story, I was the witness at their wedding the next day. I was showing them my art and they asked if they could have this piece; they thought with a glass top it would make a great coffee table. I hope they enjoyed it.
